How do I run on macOS?
LakshK98 opened this issue · comments
I followed all steps and cmake --build build ran successfully and generated awrit.app in build/awrit/Release
In a kitty terminal I ran
sudo open awrit.app
It exits immediately with no output/error.
My apologies, I should have included it in the README 😅 I'll leave this issue open until I update the README.
You can run it using: ./build/awrit/Release/awrit.app/Contents/MacOS/awrit
You should notice this is the same path as the final linking step from a build:
[1/1] Linking CXX executable awrit/Release/awrit.app/Contents/MacOS/awrit
You also shouldn't run it with sudo, that's not necessary and might cause things not to work correctly.
As a side note: It's bundled as an app because on macOS, Chromium Embedded Framework requires this specific directory structure by default. I'll change the structure to be simpler when I have more time.
Ideally, I'll have it built and structured as:
bin/awrit
share/awrit/Resources
@LakshK98 I added the ability to install and run it in a much simpler way.
I also attempted to make the README more clear, but feel free to open another issue if you run into problems.
